Supermarket Flowers
J.Fla Lyrics

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I removed the flowers bought from the supermarket that were on the windowsill

I threw the day-old tea from the cup
I discarded the day-old tea that was remaining in the cup

Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
I collected and stored the photo album created by Matthew

Memories of a life that's been loved
These items were all associated with the life of my loved one that has passed away

Took the "Get Well Soon" cards and stuffed animals
I removed the 'Get Well Soon' cards and stuffed animals

Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
The old ginger beer was disposed of by pouring it down the sink

Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down."
My father always instructed me not to cry when I was feeling low

But, mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
Despite my father's advice, I can't help but cry when I blink

Oh, I'm in pieces. It's tearing me up but I know
I am experiencing a great deal of emotional pain, but I am aware that a heart that is broken is one that has been loved

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
A broken heart is a testament to having loved and been loved in return

So, I'll sing Hallelujah,
I will express my gratitude by singing Hallelujah

You were an angel in the shape of my mum
My mother was like an angel to me

When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Whenever I fell down, my mother was always there to support and help me

Spread your wings as you go
I hope that my mother will achieve greater things in the afterlife

And when God takes you back
When God brings you back to him in heaven

He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home."
God will welcome you back by saying 'Hallelujah, you are home'

I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
I made preparations to correctly settle the space by fluffing pillows, making beds and stacking chairs

Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
I tidied away my mother's nightgowns into a case

John said he'd drive, then put his hand on my cheek
John suggested that he will drive and expressed compassion by placing his hand on my cheek

And wiped a tear from the side of my face
He wiped away a tear from the side of my face

And I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know
I aspire to see the world as my mother saw it because I recognize that a life lived with love is well-lived

A life with love is a life that's been lived
A life filled with love is one that has been fully experienced

You got to see the person I have become
You had the opportunity to witness the person I have developed into

Spread your wings and I know
I am confident that my mother will accomplish great things in the afterlife

That when God took you back, he said, "Hallelujah, you're home."
God will rejoice and welcome you home with open arms
